13Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to the king as the supreme authority,
14or to governors as those sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right.
15For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorance of foolish men.
— 1 Peter 2:13-15
